Description

Do not use save states as long term saves. Use in game saves instead. There is no guarantee that save states will work in later updates. In game saves will work. If someone emails me complaining that save states are broken in a later update, I'll just laugh and delete it.

Please email me if you have any problems. I can't really fix bugs if you just post a 1 star review saying it's bad.

Other functions to be added-Microphone

How to play?Save your roms in the SD card and launch Dsoid. You will see a black screen showing the stuff in your device. This is the built in file explorer. Use the file explorer to navigate to your roms and select a rom to start playing! The touch button at the middle top of your screen enable/disable on screen control buttons. Refer to the FAQ should you have questions.

WOW Nice work dude It is amazing how this app has improved since I installed it. I'm playing pokemon platinum and it is almost at normal game speed but the battles are at normal speed along with audio. There is one problem, the audio keeps cutting off about 10-20 minutes after I start to play any game. Keep going for perfection dude. Your app is the best one around.

Best DS Emulator for Android This emulator is great. It still needs some work though, in future updates I'd like to see smoother FPS and maybe even better formatting. I do have some problems on some games though. For example, on Pokémon Black I can't exit my house without the game crashing. This is the only problem on any game I've played so far and if this could be fixed I'd really appreciate it. Also, I'd like to see an option to use action replay/cheat codes. Just keep the updates coming and I'll be sure to rate five stars.

Update Its really slow on my phone, tried adjusting frameskip rate but it doesnt do anything on my phone. Could you possibly put an option for cheats along with customized button layout. The app is great(doesnt crash like the others I've tried) and has the best looking icon.

Was the best This app had the potential to be the best, but looks like someone else was able to get a full working feature packed emu out first. Still prefer your layout and settings menu, keep up the good work! Performance is much better than the last time I broke it out.

One of the worst emulators that I've ever used Terrible. If you accidentally hit the return button you lose all of your progress which makes you constantly have to save... which takes forever. And then if you try and leave to send a text or to look something up online, it crashes and you have to start over again.And it doesn't even support action replay codes. Definitely not worth 3 bucks.

How?! Why can't I actually PLAY on this app?! I'm always getting stuck in some slow, annoying, crappy file thing whenever I open this app. I'm sorry but I had to put the one star because of me always never being able get passed the file download thing. I only wanted to play Pokémon Heart Gold

Weak on certain games Tried playing pokemon blk and wht but cuts off after the exiting house scene at the beginning. It runs slow but not to laggy so once these issues are fixed I will change my rating

Some major issues Now, I'm new to emulator apps, but this one seemed cool. However, when I open it all I see is a bunch of folders. If anyone could help with this that would be great. Other than not being able to run it, it seems pretty cool.

Wow man, you've got some nerve. Charging people to download your emulator (I get it, mandatory donations for a good cause, and so you have the resources to get it up and running), and then posting in your description that you've stopped working on it because you just don't have the time? Take it down! What a crock. You should have refunded everyone when you decided to give up on this a year ago. Outraged. You give real developers a bad name by putting garbage on the store and charging people for what you knew you'd never finish. You suck!

Fix bugs first then add new features I think that before you start adding features you should fix the bugs. I was playing a game and the sound disabled itself and would not change. Also, I bought this so I could play pokemon. But the game is no fun without sound. Can you please try your best to fix the slowness. If you did that you could charge more and you will get more customers

Major game breaker Can't select external SD cards... I don't have the space to keep roms on my local storage so I run everything on SD. This emulator only shows the "up folder" button once every 10 or so times I refresh the file explorer. Cannot use app. Good day to you, sir.

Galaxy s 3 Great app man, runs a little slow even on my gs3 but that's alright I'm sure you'll fix that up soon as you can, otherwise I am more than okay with paying the two bucks for this app. A suggestion to add is like a settings menu for changing soft key sizes and what ever other useful features

Awsome app but one flaw Runs pretty fast compared to several other emulators i used. One flaw that i ask the developer, please make action replay cheats available in the menu list for games such as pokemon. Otherwise, its a great app.

90% there It's almost playable, wasn't expecting. I have monitored DS emulation on android for about 3 years now and this is fantastic for progress. If only this dev had started sooner. EDIT: DISAPPOINTING THAT THE DEV HAS LEFT THIS AFTER PEOPLE PURCHASED IT. IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. I PAID FOR THIS TO FUND THE DEVELOPER TO FINISH THE PROJECT AND HE HAS JUST LEFT IT. DON'T BUY.

The game has changed Emulators have been released since that significantly outperform this - and now that I can't access my ROMs on my memory card, I can't even play anything. However, I admire the developer for making this work, at least somewhat.

Do the side by side screens and try to reduce the lag IMO, it would be better if we were able to use the touch screen without using the touch button. (The button above the screen) but still gj on this. Hope to see this improve more in future updates. 3/5

really good for my tablet i bought it for my phone but it was kinda laggy n i didnt like it til i tried to play it on my tablet. i liked it a lot since there was no lag. good app but what are ingame saves? like on pokemon, do i save it from the game or the app?

Don't bother I paid for this to support the Dev. Now I come back to see how it's progressed this past year and the developer says he's "too busy" to work on it. How irresponsible can you be to take money for a work-in-progress just to abandon it? There are better, free emulators with the state that this was left in. We all got scammed.

Suggestions Main menu could be added with different options, and browsing list doesn't immediately pick up my external sd card where my games are saved. A lot of black dots pop up with some games, kinda like dead pixels.

I really love this app. I am very happy. I've missed my DS games that I have lost. So happy to have a working player. :) I cant wait until it gets to normal speed, but I'm happy it exists in general. :D

works well for my favourite game. The app works well for '9 hours 9 people 9 doors'. The only problem is that the music is slower than usual and can be frustrating if keep listening. I personally don't demand high fps since I don't play action games often. But the music part I do care.

Almost there, but not quite I like the app, it runs ROMs and such. It's just slightly too slow, even when I set the frame skip to 9. I know nothing about programming apps such as this, but I assume speeding it up is difficult, but any speed increase would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome work I purchased this app over a year ago. I haven't used it much. I fired it up recently and I am amazed by the progress. It is so much faster then when I used it last. Keep improving speed then add some cool features.

Great emultor if it worked Doesnt always lets me find my roms, the "/...." menu on the top doesnt always appear to goto the storage location of all drives. When it does work, then runs quite smoothly, im on samasung note 8 lte. Also emailed the developer twice and no reply.....

Dsoid is an okay emulator I would rate 5 stars, because it is an amazing emulator, besides the low fps and repeating crashing. Currently, I'm at a part of Pokemon Heart Gold, but I can't continue because it crashes at a point of the game that I need do to complete or move on in the game. Other than that, I think this emulator is a good one.

HTC One V I recommend this app to every pokemon lover I know. Most of them play diamond version but they say is exactly like the ds and they also said that you did a very good job but they want pokemon diamond to run faster but is still good. Please make it fast like the ds. were counting on you :) worth the money! Thanks for your awesome app :)
